Know More About Marathon Training

How will you define the word Running? You can run aimlessly and happily to build a healthy lifestyle. Or you can also train your running with set a goal and disciplined training program aims to improve your performance.

Program Objective

The annual Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon is a major sports event in our city and attracted more than 70,000 runners from all walks of life. There are serious and experienced runners aimed to break through their limit and potential while we also have the beginners aimed to enjoy the fun and healthy effects of running.

To cater runners with different perspectives, this year Marathon Clinic consists of two courses (Beginner / Advanced Course).

The beginner course aims for those who want to know the basic knowledge and technique in running such that they can enjoy the run and improve their health.

The advanced course provides in-depth analysis of training methods/programs, running techniques such that participants can understand their own limit and potentials, and achieved their personal best in the SCHKM 2026.

To encourage senior citizens participate in regular exercises, we will reduce the cost of the beginner course for those who aged 60 and above.
